nwBMWclub Hosting Auto Cross at Spokane
County Raceway: September 4th
For those who remember way back in
February, nwBMWclub will be running/hosting
the International Mustang Club Auto Cross
and we need volunteers to help shag
cones from 9AM-1PM. After 1PM, we will
have the Auto Cross course to ourselves to
do as we please. If you want to
volunteer, there is a Worker Safety Meeting
that will be held at 8:45AM at Spokane
County Raceway on the morning of the event.
Please come help our club help out another
club who was in need of someone to step up
to the plate and host their Auto Cross.
Friday at The Track: September 9th and
30th
If Auto Cross doesn't quite cut your need
for speed then you need to take your BMW out
to Friday at the Track! FATT is a laid
back, open track day at Spokane County
Raceway's 2.3 Mile Road Course. I
highly recommend these Friday Events to
anyone who is serious into racing or
improving as a driver. With coaching
available and a laid back atmosphere of
racers, you have hundreds of people to learn
from.

Montana Run Seis: September 16th and 17th
The kickoff for Montana Run 6 is very
close and nwBMWclub is excited! Here
are some quick details on the weekend:
-
Friday the 16th: Club Dinner/GTG at
Flamin' Joes in the Spokane Valley at 6PM
(be there on time!)
Flamin' Joes was once again kind enough to
give us the outdoor patio for this evening.
Please be there on time to get a seat as it
usually fills up fast.
-
Saturday the 17th: Club drive from the
Liberty Lake, WA Albertsons to Minnie's in
Thompson Falls, MT for lunch. Please
be ready to leave Albertsons at 10AM.
We will be returning back to Liberty Lake
around 3-4PM.
-
Following the drive there will be a
nwBMWclub BBQ/Show & Shine beginning at 6PM.
We have booked The Kave in Otis Orchards
(Corner of Wellesley and Harvard) and The
Camaro's (local rock band) will be providing
the music at 8PM. Otis Grill will be
taking orders and providing the food
(excellent burgers and prime rib).
We
want to encourage everyone to attend
even if you missed the Mt. Run Drive or have
never been to an event before (friends and
families welcome). We want to make
this a family friendly event so come say hi
and meet some local enthusiasts while you
enjoy excellent food and good live music.
Club News
5erWest 2011 better than 2010?
Sounds impossible but the rumor from the
event was Jake did an amazing job pulling
this event off. Of course he couldn't
have done it without the help of Tyler and
all the 5-Series Enthusiasts out there!
Great job everyone and thank you from
nwBMWclub.
Jake hasn't had a chance to type out a
"wrap-up" from the event yet, but as soon as
he does, I will mail it out. Now, go
check out the
5erWest blog and the 2011 Galleries!
Forum Problems
If you have seen some downtime on our
forums or tried to register, I apologize for
the hassle. We had some bad code in
the forum index file that caused those
issues. I believe I have them all
resolved now.

Final Note
The forum nearly has 1100 members.
Are you one of them? True story, Jake
and I debated never starting a forum for the
club thinking it would never catch on.
